An Experiment with Alfalfa.
Range Journal.

The value OF alfalfa for feeding cattle
is but little understood by those who
have not made actual experiments. We
are able to give some facts and figures
collected by Mr.. NJ. b. Hays, of this city,
who, at considerable pains, obtained the
information. We give the experiment
which was made with lot of 900 pound
steers, and which would have brought in
Kansas City the day they were enclosed
for feeding, November LIST, $3.50 per
hundred. They were fed an average of
two tons per steer, and on March /. four
months from the date that feeding COM
menced, weighed 1900 pounds and were
worth $3.50 per hundred. This was
a New Mexico experiment, and therefore
very fair criterion by which to estimate
the value of alfalfa throughout the range
country We leave those of our readers
who are interested to make their own
calculations on the profit of the invest
ment referred to. Five dollars per head
for transportation and 1926 per ton for
raising and feeding the alfalfa would
probably cover everything except the
shrinkage in shipping. The average
price for fat steers in the Kansas City
market for ten years past in the early
part of March has been $4.98 per hun
dred. So that if feeding would do
more than to make steers hold their
own from November to March, the ad-
vance in values would make an expert
ment profitable. But alfalfa will do
more than this. It will put On from
200 to 400 pounds of excellent beef on
every healthy steer to which it is iber-
ally fed, and this tells the whole story.

medium between extremes OF food and
drouth. And where are these store
houses? At the source OF the hundreds
and thousands of water systems. These
water systems extend downward to the
including OF our miniature draws" We
are convinced that, as a general rule,
springs can be developed at the head OF
each of these creeks, branches and draws.
How? Not by digging, perhaps. but by
foresting. And right here is where tim
ber-planting, next to the grove immedi-
ately surrounding the residence, should
begin. Most of you, no doubt, have land
in which one draw or more heads. There
you should set out at least an acre Of
timber, after having prepared the ground
thoroughly for it's reception. AS the
trees grow, the. falling leaves and branches
will create, slowly, but surely, covering
for the ground within the grove. The
rainfall, instead of fleeing with all haste to
the lower end Of the creek, branch or
draw, will begin to tarry. This tarrying
will result in its trickling downward,
chasing the roots and root fbres of the
trees, finding Judgment, perhaps, in
thousands of huge pores in the underly-
ing rocks. The inevitable result, though
years may be involved in the solution, is
spring or springs. That this condition
at the head of that water system, large
or small as the case may be, must work
advantageously to all portions of the
stream below there, is too plain to admit
of question.
If you do not happen to have on your
land the source Of any kind of natural
water system, we would advise that you
make the system, and thus create the
source. You can do this with pillow on
any piece of land in this region. But
perhaps you neither have on your place
the source of water system, nor are
willing to create one. It may be, then,
that creek or branch at some distance
from its source, runs through your place.
IF this be the case, then You should plant
timber along its water bed. In this way
you can create there a fresh source of
water supply regardless of whether some
water already flows from higher up the
system or not.
The time has come when few, indeed, of
the old settlers are not ready to assist in
foresting western Kansas as far as their
means will justify. They should talk
forestry to the new settlers. The new
settlers should be taught, without delay,
the fact that the general growing Of tim
Der on these plains will make this portion
of Kansas the most desirable portion of
the state, and that delay is not only
dangerous, but blindly suicidal.
Let all begin anew this spring the for
estry work. Have the ground in elegant
condition. Plant intelligently. Guilt
vate the forest as garden.

In our Judgment, trees in this re-
gion should, as rule, be planted only in
ground which has been furrowed deeply
for the purpose. By following this plan,
and damming the rows at occasional in
tervals, nothing but a very dry season or
failure to cultivate the trees can prevent
their healthy growth. What if this
course does disarrange somewhat the ap-
pearance of the ground? 1t is necessary
to success, and if success is not wanted,
why bother with planting timber? Has
not every old settler seen enough mon
keying with timber-growing to give him
wholesome relish for the prosecution of
sensible plan?
